Yeah Kane in his prime was so good, everything about him worked

Since then aside from the odd random push he's been involved in ridiculous storylines. Whilst they bring in a bunch of new monster heels, most of which flopped like the useless great Khali.

Kane jobbed to Khali quite a few times actually rofl

Best monster heel in the business ffs.

Greatest shock win for me was Shelton Benjamin beating HHH. Then he beat him again rofl

Shame about Shelton, he was a fantastic wrestler and WWE pushed him hard but somehow he remained a midcarder for life.

Wonder what The Shield and Bray Wyatt will so a Survior Series. Maybe Wyatt vs Ambrose for US title hmm

The monster gimmick has a very short shelf life, either you turn into a part timer like Lesnar and Taker or you'll have to do stuff like Kane and Big Show after the initial monster phase runs its course.

As much as i hate HHH for burying talent he did put over a few guys like Batista and Shelton. Benjamin's main problem was his mic skills, and as the likes Hogan and Cena prove, mic work is much more important than wrestling skills in this business

As for the Wyatt tag team match, im guessing it will be turned into 6 v 6 in raw

Anyone worried Sheamus will make a surprise entry in the RR and win it ?

by Onyx Tue 12 Nov 2013, 23:49

Nah he won it in 2012. Punk or Bryan should win it.

JR Q&A

Splitting up The Shield or The Wyatts: There are 6 men involved in the Wyatt-Shield business and at least one or two need to separate from their peers and elevate up the cards. Who will it be These guys have been polished up in the WWE Performance Center and are being heavily counted on to be main event level stars much sooner than later.

Who do you think he's talking about ? Riegns and Brey ? Ambrose and Harper ?

by Tomwin Lannister Wed 13 Nov 2013, 21:54

Personally I think it's too soon to be splitting the Wyatts up. If they push Bray away from the other two, his gimmick takes a hit and Herper & Rowan will almost definitely be jobbing to nobodies before long. I can see it now, these up and coming mid-carders pulling off a 'shock win' against much larger opponents every week.

As for the Shield, the problem was clear from the start. They debuted at the top of the card and they beat everybody in their way. Even Superman ffs. So they had achieved all of their 'goals' within 1 year and now there's no possible way to go 'up' as a group.

Rollins looks more the babyface type, but Reigns seems to be the one being split from the Shield. Ambrose is the best on the mic but Reigns just about edges him in the ring I reckon.

Yep, jumped the gun there big time, although they were good at the start during the show/orton/kane/vickie segment

As noted last week, there are currently no on-going talks between Hulk Hogan and TNA. WWE Hall of Famer Jimmy Hart, who is close personal friends with Hogan, recently told Ring Posts that Hogan plans on being at WrestleMania XXX.

"Hogan knew I was doing this press tour with WWE promoting the DVD," Hart said, via The Baltimore Sun. "He told me to say exactly this: Hulk Hogan will be at WrestleMania if he has to buy a ticket and sit at ringside.
